Supreme Court of Georgia

Thomas v. State

May 17, 2021311 Ga. 573

Summary

The court affirmed Thomas’s convictions and sentences, concluding that the evidence was constitutionally sufficient and that the trial court properly denied his new-trial and mistrial motions. It also held that the second custodial interview did not require renewed warnings after a two-hour break, and that Thomas failed to establish prejudice from any deficient performance by counsel. The court rejected cumulative-prejudice relief because there were no multiple errors to consider collectively.
